Basel, Switzerland – Audiences were mesmerized by the captivating performance of "Kathak à Kontre-Kourants" by renowned dancer and choreographer Isabelle Anna. This 55-minute program showcased the versatility and artistry of Kathak dance through three captivating solos. The performance began with a traditional Indian Kathak piece. Here, the dancer traditionally adhered to a set time structure. However, Anna broke free from this constraint in a later solo, demonstrating her mastery and improvisation skills. The program took a captivating turn with "Ravel's Mon Bolero," a Kathak reinterpretation of the famous piece. Anna's imaginative and virtuosic performance breathed new life into the iconic music. The final solo, "Le Bal des Mots" (The Dance of Words), featured an intricate soundscape of alphabets, babbling, and diction exercises. Anna's Kathak movements beautifully illustrated the accompanying text and sounds, creating a truly unique and engaging experience. Following the performance, attendees had the opportunity to delve deeper into the world of Kathak through a Q&A session with Isabelle Anna herself.
